Molinelli

Physical: 6-1, 165 pounds; Lean, athletic build. 6.92 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet wide spread; upright bat position. Loads straight back with a toe-tap for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a direct swing path with a two handed finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 79 MPH via Trackman. plus barrel control that carries over to game action.

Defensively: Starts with a balanced setup; uses prep hop while displaying fluid actions to the baseball. Hands are soft while funneling to the hip before transfer. Moderate arm circle while using various arm slots. Natural athleticism and body projects to handle left side

Physical: Athletic, lanky 6-foot-1, 165lb frame; 6.84 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Wider, balanced stance, as the hands operated calm/in rhythm out in front of the ear. Utilized a short backload and toe tap stride to initiate a whippy, flat path into the hitting zone. Produced a middle/backside approach during batting practice, which carried over into gameplay with a high contact skillset. Still room to improve contact points for additional power output, but T92 mph bat-exit velocity and current strength certainly play. Arrow-up prospect. 

Defensively: Prototypical shortstop build with natural range in either direction; beats the ball to the spot from a multitude of routes and releases from H ¾ slot up to 87 mph across the diamond. Chest leads the way and circles at times. 

Physical: High-ceilinged athlete with advanced feel for the game (6-foot, 151lbs). 7.13 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH - Wider attack from a balanced stance with the hands loose at the shoulder. Utilized a toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through a flat path into the hitting zone. Able to start and stop quickly with fluid actions at the plate, matching pitch plane and rarely rolling the wrists across his body. Worked towards extension for doubles power to both gaps, finding most success hitting inside-out for backside hits (T84 mph bat-exit velocity, 33% fly ball rate via Trackman). Carried confident swings, transferring them over to pleasant barrels in-game action (bat to ball skills). Future top of the order type with twitch/control over the inner half. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop profiles best as a top tier defender, always keeping the feet moving with quick sub-4.15 footwork across the diamond. Extends range with banana routes in either direction, able to let the chest set direction early in routes. Good rhythm thrower, getting rid in sequence from a H ¾ slot (78 mph arm, more available).
